Knowledge is power!

Or at least something to occupy ones hands as I can now knit. Sort of. I can't cast on or perl or anything fancy but I am coming along quite nicely on my rag. I mean c'mon it was my first time. Stop looking at me like that!

I spent a nice evening with the Wife™, belladonnalin, zorah and a few assorted children. It was good times I'll remember fondly with a slight trace of bitterness as the Wife™ completely showed me up with her even and regular newbie knitting skills.

The Wife is out of control. There are no words.

Nobody should be that good when I showed them for 15 seconds.

Though keep in mind ... you were taught by The Kid, whose methods are ... unorthodox.

It was Jeremy who turned me on to the Weakerthans, so you can blame him when their infectious melodies are ringing in your brain at 3 am.

Yay knitting! It's a great mental picture, by the way, you with needles in your hands.

Somebody tell me how I can find these weaker people in Iraq!

Those Weakerthans

They will be shorter than you... with very skinny, stick like arms, also they may look depressed as if their entire country had been destroyed in the name of democracy and freedom but then left swinging in the wind while their hopes die slowly of hope starvation (as opposed to a humane sudden hope blow or possibly by too much hope ice cream). Also if you prefer to be more open and relative look out for incidents of fisticuffs or tavern brawls: befriend the losers. Make conversation with men who were unable to lift the bus off the trapped child or lost a fight with lions.

And not only is my rag coming along so nicely that Sar thinks I should make it into some sort of scarf but- oh wait that is the only.
